Honestly, I don't know. I've never been able to use xvmc because my card
doesn't support it. As such, XvMC support in the RPM should be considered
experimental at best. I will, however, welcome any patches to the spec
file that make it work.

In the meantime, I suggest trying CVS checkout and building directly
from the source.
